The Groove Farm’s first single ‘Sore Heads and Happy Hearts’ exactly 25 years ago (well November) was sent to Janice Long and John Peel – who played it within the very next few days and becoming firm favourites on the independent radio airwaves. Becoming a fine and legendary live act and an uncompromising force to be reckoned with, they were part of The Subway Organisation troupe alongside, The Flatmates and The Chesterfields et al. Throughout their time The Groove Farm toured with The Wedding Present and constantly appeared in the indie charts, consistently proving their appeal as one of the most exciting indie pop bands of the time. The Groove Farm 1986 – 1990 provided a wealth of takes on pop but was always elemental, immediate and FUN, never failing with it’s ‘true to the bone’ stance. Matt Haynes wrote on The Groove Farm ‘THAT DAY I DISCOVERED PUNK ROCK!’ in Sarah 4 fanzine - a firm believer in their pop conviction and manic pop bliss. This cd, ‘ Its Only Indie Pop..But I Like It’, fantastically archives the finest moments with only their best bits (23 and a bit tracks) included, complete with pics, photos, posters, info and accounts of a time that was truly special and truly theirs..it can be yours too. We think you’d… ‘like it’ too, after all is 100% indie pop.

GROOVE FARM (the) : I Know It's Only Indiepop... But I Like It

Indie pop.1986. Bristol, meant many things, but it also meant The Groove Farm – with their own unique garage/surf take on pop/punk as inspired by Buzzcocks, The Undertones, The Jam and The Chords.
